OSCE concludes anti-corruption needs assessment mission in Mongolia. A three-day national anti-corruption needs assessment mission conducted by the Office of the Coordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities concluded in Ulaanbaatar. The mission discussed Mongolia’s legal, regulatory and institutional anti-corruption infrastructure and identified recommendations for improvement and potential follow-up activities. “While corruption remains among key challenges for Mongolia, we are impressed with the quality and determination of Mongolia’s Independent Authority Against Corruption (IAAC) to retain its independent status, design and implement efficient policies to prevent and combat corruption in all its forms,” said Andrei Muntean, Senior Economic Officer at the OSCE Secretariat. The mission concluded with a multi-stakeholder roundtable discussion focusing on improving and strengthening the mandate and independence of the Independent Authority against Corruption, the role of the judiciary, effectiveness of law enforcement authorities and the engagements of civil society and the private sector. Thematic exchanges revealed the need to better regulate political party financing, strengthen the capacity of relevant authorities to collect, assess and investigate assets and income disclosure of public officials, better regulate public procurement processes and strengthen anti-money laundering and stolen asset recovery efforts.
